So happy to have an Indian restaurant finally local nearby! My wife and I will definitely be coming here a lot. We ordered the chicken 65 and the buttered chicken with 2 portions of garlic Naan bread, It came with a bowl of rice and some chilled and seasoned thinly sliced veggies on the side( tomatoe, onion, carrots, cucumber) My wife also tried the smoothie like drink that was very tasty before our main course, it had a really good flavor.
Our food was very flavorful! It came out fresh and hot. We chose the medium spice level for the buttered chicken and for me it was a perfect amount of spice for my own preference. The chicken 65 was also very flavorful. The meat was super tender and I enjoyed it very much.
The garlic Naan had a good flavor as well, but I could tell it had been microwaved to be warmed up which gives it a more spongy texture. Most other Indian restaurants I’ve been to serve it warmed up by an oven, I personally just think the texture just taste better like that.
Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She also makes a nice Margherita!
Overall we will definitely be back again for more. I’m excited to have a new restaurant to throw in our rotation.

Overall the food was good and I will return. They need more of a variety, like Chilli chicken, Tikka, Chicken Tandoori. I had the Kadai Chicken medium spicy. With butter naan. Rice came with the Kadai. The Kadai had just enough meat and they give you a very big portion of rice which is nice. The naan was on the small side compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve been to and the edges were a little hard. So I gave 4 stars for the naan and not having more of a variety of dishes. I would recommend it, food was good.

I had good experienced once but not for the past three times. All my orders were to go. Chicken 65 was too dry once that it kept sticking to my teeth. Too much of corn flour. The past two orders, quantity was too little for the price. Pic attached, chilli chicken, about 12 dollars. Houston restaurants give me a full box for that price.

My husband and I stopped in there last Sat. on our way out of town. And boy am I glad we did! The food was DELICIOUS! We both shared the Butter & Curry Chicken dishes. The rice was cooked perfectly, the flavor of both dishes was spot on and the chicken texture was exactly as should be! Will definitely stop in as often as possible! Would LOVE if they would relocate to Livingston, which would give us an opportunity to eat there more often!

The food was delicious & the choices were many. Short of driving miles & miles to FM1960 in Humble, there are no Indian restaurants to be found, unfortunately.
